How do I remove an unwanted site that keeps popping up at start up

http://www.lonelypacifist.tk/ keeps opening upon start up. I have never visited this site nor do I plan to, but it is stored somewhere on computer and would like to delete it. Any ideas??

The Lonelypacifist.tk browser hijacker is bundled with certain free software in the category of Potentially Unwanted Programs.

  • How can I block bogus web site that keeps trying to update firefox? Need to identify bogus site too.

    How can I block bogus web site that keeps trying to update firefox? Need to identify bogus site too.

    hello, this is a scam tactic that is trying to trick you into installing malware, so don't download or execute this kind of stuff - updates are handled automatically by firefox so you don't have to download anything (you can always initiate a manual check for updates in ''firefox > help > about firefox'').
    you might also want to run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan] in order to make sure that there isn't already some sort of malware active on your system that triggers these false alerts.

    you could also help by pressing F10 & going to ''help > report web forgery'' while you're on this dubious page - this might get the page into the list of malicious sites that get blocked in firefox (the actual list is maintained by google) or when such pages use the firefox logos or trademarks to trick users into downloading malware you could also file it at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/fraud-report/.

  • I keep getting a notification that says "Google Talk authentication failed"...does anyone know how to get rid of this?  I tried looking for it in the apps but not really sure what google talk is or how to get rid of this message that keeps popping up.

    How do i get rid of the message that keeps popping up that says "google talk authentication failed"????

    funwidowlady,
    Good afternoon!  I'm glad I can be here to help with this error. In the device this application is identified only as 'Talk', so that be more familiar to you. First I recommend opening the 'Market' app on your phone, then Menu>My Apps to see if this application requires an update. It will display a list on top of all applications that need to be updated. If nothing exists, tap 'Home' and go into 'Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Talk, then tap 'Clear Cache' and 'Clear Data' to remove the history of that application and stop the notifications.  The app will remain on your phone for future use, if you desire to take advantage of it. Read more about Google Talk here
    Thank you!

  • How do I remove the "new tab" that keeps flashing up when I start Firefox?

    The new tab offers links to Twitter, Facebook etc. I don't want this 'service'. This tab slows down the process for me- a total pain in the neck. Thanks in advance, for any help.

    Great, thanks for that URL. In an earlier thread it was associated with a "speed dial" or "search dial" extension: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/990420
    Unwanted extensions often are installed at the system level as part of a bundle. Therefore, I suggest starting here:
    Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    Next, in Firefox, open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    (1) In the left column, click Plugins. If you find a plugin that you don't recognize or which doesn't sound essential, try setting it to "Never Activate". (The most essential Plugin is Shockwave Flash. You can use most sites without the others.)
    (2) In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Finally, you can "mop up" remaining issues with the scanning/cleaning tools suggested in this support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    Success?

  • I've sold my Macbook but forgot to disable the Find my device, how can I remove it now as it keeps popping up everytime it's turned on

    Hi All - sorry if this is in the wrong area but I'm alittle stuck.  Recently sold my Macbook but forgot to disable the "Find my Device" on it. Now everytime I log into my icloud and look for my daughter (hmmm stalking her by tracking the phone LOL) if these new people have the mac turned on it pops back up.  I've removed it a couple of times when it's been online but it keeps coming back.
    Don't have any way to contact them ... how can I permanently remove it???
    Thanks Heaps

    I believe that it is not very likely that the person that has bought your computer is using your iCloud account. It appears that by enabling find my Mac on the computer, this is somehow written to firmware, so that the Mac continues to be located by the find my Mac application even after the computer has been erased.
    There is some evidence to show that when the person that has bought the computer enables find my Mac themselves that's it will then stop showing up in your find my Mac application.

  • How can I turn off the blobs that keep popping up with underlined or otherwise marked words or expressions in text or menue.

    Looking at web pages some key words are underlined or marked. Moving the cursor across them brings out a flag with directions to ask what it is. It is very annoying and I spend more time trying to get rid of them than enjoying the reading. This was not there several years ago but has become increasingly frequent. How can I turn this OFF. I am not a computer expert.

    Are you perhaps using Google Calendar as your main calendar service? There is an option in Google Calendar to have text alerts sent to your phone for events. Log into Google Calendar on your computer and disable that feature.
    If you're using a different calendar service, see if they have a similar set up.

    Select the item (arrow down or move cursor) but don't click on it, then press the "Del", users on a Mac would do the same but must continue to use the older shortcut "Shift+Del".

  • Somehow when I do a search from toolbar it redirects to bing. I have been unable to restore it so that it goes to google. How do I remove this unwanted search engine?

    Somehow when I do a search from toolbar it redirects to bing. I have been unable to restore it so that it goes to google. How do I remove this unwanted search engine?

    Hi kjkirtley,
    Your question is not quite clear about where you are doing the searches from, but I will presume you are trying to do searches from Safari (Apple’s web browser) and it is using Bing as the default search engine. You can set the default search engine to Google by going to the Safari menu > Preferences > General > Default Search Engine:

    How do you remove a web site from popular list?
    If you mean from the Safari menubar item "Popular"
    Choose "Show All Bookmarks" from the Bookmark menu in the main menubar, or click the icon for that in Safari's menubar -
    The page that opens should show a list of Bookmarks. In the Left column, click the item under Collections named Bookmarks Bar.
    In the new view, locate the folder named Popular and click the reveal triagle to the left of its name - it will open and reveal all the items listed in Popular.
    Find the one you want to remove, click it once to select it, then press the Delete key on the keyboard.

  • How do I remove an unwanted Airport Express from my network?

    I have been using a Time Capsule for several years.  I am having trouble backing up to my Time Capsule.  I have discovered an unknown Airport Express in my network.  I've changed networks, added passwords to the network, etc.  How do I remove this unwanted Airport Express from my network?  I think he is wreaking havoc with my system!!  Help...

    Maybe this is an issue I should consult my ISP about??
    No question about that. If you can "see" Travis's device, then he can likely "see" your Time Capsule.
    I'm just concerned that whomever the APExpress belongs to could be changing settings on my computer or Time Capsule that would cause the issues with me not being able to backup.
    Make sure that you have a Time Capsule base station password. Unless a user has that password, they might be able to "see" your Time Capsule, but they cannot access any of the data on the Time Capsule or change the settings.
    Open AirPort Utility, click on the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
    Then, click the Time Capsule tab below the icons to see the device name and password for your device. Make sure that you have entered the password and confirmed. Click Update if you have made any changes.
    The message I get is "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk.  The problem may be temporary.  Try again later to back up.  If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk."
    I am not sure what this error means, because I cannot duplicate it here to test.
    If it were me, I would try this "fix".

  • How do I remove an unwanted toolbar?  I added a radio station to my ibook and it set up its own toolbar so when I go to Safari I have to use it.  It involves using Bing for everything as well.  It's very annoying and I want to remove it.

    How do I remove an unwanted toolbar?  I added a radio station to my ibook and it set up its own toolbar so when I go to Safari I have to use it.  It involves using Bing for everything as well.  It's very annoying and I want to remove it.  I can't just type in a URL and have it go to the site.  It takes me to all of Bing's choices.  Also, when it anticipates what I'm typing (incorrectly) and I have to delete it's guesses all the time.  Can anyone help?

    Have you looked at Safari's menu bar > view> toolbars to see if it can be unchecked from there,also see if there is a button to collapse the toolbar on the bar itself.

    Hey anneri
    Go to ''tools->options'' and under the ''Security'' tab click on ''Saved passwords''. This will give you a list of sites that you have saved a password for. Just find your site and delete that entry.
    There is a lot of useful information in this article about the [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/make-firefox-remember-usernames-and-passwords?s=password+manager&r=1&as=s Firefox Password Manager]. It should answer any other questions you might have.
